The deputy prime minster's co-host on Lis Murdoch and a rottweiler – and why he stood aside for Boris Johnson<p>Nick Ferrari has made radio history with his weekly phone-in show with Nick Clegg on London talk station LBC, and it's not the first time Ferrari – a former red-top journalist and executive who has hosted the station's breakfast show for a decade – has claimed a broadcasting first. As director of programmes at the launch of short-lived cable channel Live TV, where he worked with former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie, he was responsible for topless darts and weather forecasts featuring a dwarf bouncing on a trampoline. Such initiatives are rather less celebrated, although possibly not by Ferrari.</p><p>Another wheeze, in which Sky News (where Ferrari was launch editor) would be co-presented by a rottweiler, was scuppered at the last minute by the channel switching to rolling coverage of the arrival of Mikhail Gorbachev.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/mar/03/lbc-nick-ferrari-nick-clegg">Continue reading...</a>Radio industryMediaKelvin MacKenzieNick CleggPoliticsCathy NewmanElisabeth MurdochRichard DesmondCommercial radioBoris JohnsonSky NewsSun, 03 Mar 2013 18:22:01 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/mar/03/lbc-nick-ferrari-nick-cleggGraeme Robertson/GuardianIt’s your call … Nick Ferrari says his LBC radio show is like producing a newspaper.
